Fan Favorites Win Big
Usher’s amazing year continues as he snatched awards all evening. The R&B singer was awarded Entertainer of the Year based on his famous Las Vegas residency and revered Super Bowl halftime performance. He began his acceptance speech by crediting Oprah for assisting him in his start in the music industry.
“I guess all good things start with Oprah Winfrey,” the father of four continued, “When I was a kid, I made my start on your show. So happy that it led up to this moment.”
The father of four was also awarded the President’s Award. His acceptance speech was dedicated to women, specifically his mother, who raised him as a single mother and worked as his manager. He also gave his appreciation to his new wife, Jennifer Goicoechea, and his children.
If you have randomly blurted the words “I will stand with you between the heavens and the earth. I will tell you where you are. DO YOU LOVE ME?” you will be pleased to know that India Amarteifio was recognized for her performance in Queen Charlotte: A Bridgerton Story. The actress walked away with Outstanding Actress in a Drama Series.
In a red carpet interview with r29unbothered, Amarteifio revealed that she was shocked that the scripted line resonated with people.

The Color Purple Steals The Night
The incredible women of The Color Purple also had a good night at the 2024 NAACP Awards. The cast was awarded Outstanding Motion Picture.
